Licensing Agreement FAQ’s

YogiTunes Artist Licensing FAQ

About Our Agreement

Is the YogiTunes licensing agreement exclusive?
No, it's non-exclusive and won't conflict with other agreements you may have.

Do I need to submit my entire catalog?
You choose. Our licensing form has options to include or exclude specific releases—whatever works best for you.

How does YogiTunes compare to other platforms?
Unlike major streaming services, we're built on a subscription model designed to support independent healing artists. We prioritize fair compensation and transparent revenue sharing.

Royalties & Payment

How are royalties calculated?
YogiTunes operates on a monthly subscription model. We share 23% of gross subscription revenue with artists, distributed based on total plays. Your royalty rate is calculated by dividing the artist pool by total plays across the platform.

When we reach 5,000 monthly subscribers, the artist share increases to 30%.

When do I get paid?
Royalties are paid quarterly. If your earnings are under $25 in a quarter, they roll over and accumulate until reaching the payment threshold.

What about publishing royalties?
An additional 5% of gross revenue is shared with songwriters/publishers for public performance and sync licensing.

Music Codes & Registration

How do I obtain ISRC/UPC codes?
Most digital distributors (TuneCore, DistroKid, etc.) can generate these for you. You can also obtain them independently:

Publishing & Rights

What does "publishing" mean?
Publishing refers to songwriter rights, typically split 50/50 between songwriter and publisher. As an independent artist, you can hold both roles.

Why does YogiTunes need publishing information?
We provide public performance licenses for yoga studios and wellness spaces, plus sync licenses for online videos. Both require publishing rights to be included in the agreement.

What's a PRO (Performing Rights Organization)?
PROs collect royalties when your music is played in commercial spaces, on radio, in concert venues, etc. You can register as both songwriter and publisher with your country's PRO (ASCAP, SOCAN, APRA, etc.).

Will this affect my PRO agreement?
No, our licensing agreement is non-exclusive and doesn't conflict with your PRO membership.

What if I'm published through CD Baby or another service?
We work directly with artists who control their own publishing or have close relationships with their publishers. If you'd like to work with YogiTunes, you can transition your publishing rights back to yourself through your PRO.
